I don't give up just because I struggle with something! I would NEVER EVER let an animal go just because I am struggling NOR WOULD I EVER, EVER. just go out and get something else! I am MORTIFIED AT YOUR COMMENTS! I joined this group for support and guidance and hoping for some great...
Thanks for that, I've spent a lot of money on fencing to keep Robin safe in the garden to enable him the choice of laying down watching the birds and hedgehogs or going and fetching the baby birds out of the nests to investigate them! :( Always very gentle they are not a breed genetically to...
Thanks Feverfew, appreciate you input, These lunges are always right out of the blue! I will take more notice to be sure, but just having a quick flash through the old 'memory box' I would hazard a guess that for 80% of the day he is placid, if he sees someone outside, yes he will bark, but...
I'm grabbing at straws here! So much is wonderful about this dog, the only, and I mean, the only, difficulty I have with him is is natural instincts and speed of transaction .... I live in hopes that someone might just come up with something that I feel would work, but that has not been thought...
Feverfew, I understand your rationale, we are all different and I would rather take a week or two to get a solid grounding and you have translated what I intended, differently, so I'll just keep my mouth shut! Take no notice of me! :)
Certainly it is easier, I do not disagree with you! However, for longevity, do you think more positive training might be a good idea? I did not actually mean ( my son tells me I am VERY confusing! so sorry!) I did not actually mean to hold the leads but to get the dogs to sit by you in a row...
Hi everyone!
I'm still having a battle with Robin controlling him when out and about! This past 3 weeks we have been walking quietly along a pathway to suddenly getting pinged right off my feet and both of us deposited in the centre of a huge junction road! Then I was alone there while Robin...
Hi, sorry to interject on this conversation half way through! only just seen it! I agree with a lot of JudyN comments. This is all going to be down to you - your own emotions - and how you handle it. Always pre-empt every issue that might arise and work round it so it NEVER arrises, this...
I am so very sad for you and such a heart rendering loss. He was very lucky to have been cared for during his time on this earth by such a wonderful mum and doggie family. The ending as big a shock for you as I am sure it would have been - how wonderful for him to have been scooped up in the...
Hi, I am sorry I have just come in on this discussion, so have not read any of the responses ATM - however! I feel for you! My dog is a VERY fussy eater IMHO, but of course, I don't have the skills of his senses! However, one of the things I have noted with Robin is that with the frozen...
Dearest Enid, I am so very, very, saddened to hear of your loss, it never gets any easier does it! Your dedication, and love shone through. Sometimes, there is just nothing we can do to change things, and sometimes, despite heroic efforts on all parts we fail. We learn from these things...
Goodness me! shoving pets in mini jails now! what is the world coming to! Poor Robin is still traumatised although there has been no further bangers for the past hour. It's really sad because he was so happy until they started! Time the government changed their thoughts on noise and made...
